Plain Text Editor

Simple notepad

Published by: Sindre Sorhus

Description

Simple distraction-free text editor without any rich text nonsense. The simplicity is a feature.

■ Highlights
- No formatting. Just text.
- Edit any plain text file like .txt, .csv, .md, etc
- Optimal line spacing and length
- Word count
- Brain dump mode

■ Known issues
The app does not have the ability to print because of iOS limitations.

■ Brain dump mode
Lets you only write, but not delete or edit. This helps you focus on the actual writing instead of getting distracted with editing and nitpicking.

■ FAQ
‣ Can you add a typewriter mode (centered text)?
I don't plan to add that.
‣ Does it handle huge files?
No. The app is optimized for writing. Use a proper code editor for such files.

Plain Text Editor Reviews

Nice app, would be nicer if the text line height can be adjusted

lptlk on

The app is really nice and simple! I really like it. It would be nicer if there are options to adjust the line height. The current behavior is that the line height seems to be fixed no matter what size of the font is, so does the cursor height.

Another winner from Sindre!

It’s like Christmas Day when Sindre drops a new app because you know it’s going to be something amazing! Plain Text Editor is no exception; it’s head and shoulders above every other app in its class and just delivers. Clean, simple, fast, and lightweight — what more can you ask for? This app immediately became my default text editor after I made a quick two letter shortcut via Alfred. And of course it has Dark Mode, so my eyes are happy too. Thanks Sindre!

Essential

Intuitive and useful.

macOS autocorrect doesn’t work

occasional downloader on

United States

I like the concept of this app, and it’s beautifully designed and executed. But macOS autocorrect and word completion don’t work in it, which seems odd, since it’s a native app.

Very good

I like having a modern execution of a good old text editor. Well engineered!

Great replacement for Apple’s TextEdit

Iaian7 on

United States

Simple, opens quickly, does the job. While I like editing Markdown in a more fully-featured editor with formatting and styles, I always end up needing a super fast app for plain text notes. Apple’s TextEdit has become slower and slower to open, and I just want something I can click on and (ideally, immediately) start typing. Plain Text Editor is about as perfect as I’ve found so far! Thank you so much.

Developer appreciates little things. He’ll make your life easier, and a few bucks contribution is worth that!

Works ok…

…but crashes trying to open a 10MB json file for me. That’s not even that big, honestly. Should be able to handle a 10MB json file if it wants to be taken seriously. Sorry :/

great private text editor without baggae

Been wanting a plain text app that doesn’t track you for a long time and it doesn’t disappoint 👍

Plain and Simple

I use this every day. I love Apple Notes, but sometimes I just need a no frills text editor that isn’t going to save everything I write down when I just need to make quick notes.
